The first time these teams played Georgia won 14-12, holding onto a small lead built in the first half. Georgia came out strong on the defensive end allowing it to build a 7-4 lead heading into the half, then hung on in the second half despite being outscored 8-7 down the stretch.
This season Georgia has a top-five scoring defense allowing 186 total goals in 17 games. They have the ability to win games on the defensive end, like they did in the first game against Rochester which makes them dangerous heading into the playoffs. On the offensive end Georgia has faced challenges as the fourth lowest scoring team in NLL Lacrosse this season.
Down the stretch with this game today and the season finale on Sunday Georgia is in a position to control its fate in the playoffs. Two wins lock up the third seed in the playoffs, with the potential of catching the San Diego Seals who are two games ahead of them entering today.
